Location & Flexibility

This role can operate remotely in the United States with required travel to client sites and data collection locations.

The Opportunity

We are seeking a Project Manager to lead day-to-day execution of onsite and field data collection projects, ensuring delivery against client expectations, timelines, and budget. This is a client-facing, data-driven, and solution-focused role for someone with strong critical thinking, technical curiosity, and comfort operating in dynamic, sometimes ambiguous environments — including client programs where goals and workflows are still being defined.

The Project Manager, who reports into the Program Manager, owns turning program strategy into actionable day-to-day plans and delivering them on the ground, escalating program-level risks and decisions upward as needed.

Responsibilities

Project Execution & Delivery

  • Own project execution and delivery milestones for one or more onsite/field data collection projects.

  • Translate program strategy set by the Program Manager into actionable, day-to-day project plans.

  • Own the project-level lifecycle — planning, execution, monitoring, and delivery — against client expectations, timelines, and budget.

  • Identify and resolve risks related to staffing and logistics, escalating program-level risks or decisions to the Program Manager.

  • Translate abstract or evolving client needs into concrete, actionable workflows on the ground.

Client Management & Communication

  • Serve as the primary day-to-day client contact for the project.

  • Lead client calls and Weekly Status Reports (WSRs), including data analysis, performance insights, and stakeholder updates.

  • Communicate progress, risks, and incorporate client feedback in real time.

  • Support day-to-day client relationship health, flagging satisfaction, risk, or growth signals up to the Program Manager.

Financial & Operational Oversight

  • Track and report project financials to the Program Manager, ensuring alignment to budget and forecast.

  • Manage landlord contracting and payment coordination for onsite facilities.

  • Create and maintain clear documentation — project plans, process maps, SOPs, and meeting notes.

Team Leadership & Coordination

  • Lead Project Coordinators and Schedulers, delegating tasks and ensuring alignment to project goals.

  • Partner with Sourcing/Talent Acquisition to secure appropriate talent across staffing models, including full-time, part-time, and crowd-based collectors.

  • Drive consistency and performance across distributed project teams, including crowd-based contributors where applicable.

Onsite Operations & Quality

  • Monitor onsite project health through moderator check-ins and real-time site oversight.

  • Provide real-time feedback based on client needs, and escalate quality or equipment issues promptly.

  • Ensure site readiness, safety, and compliance standards are met at all data collection locations.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Business, Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field; relevant experience accepted in place of formal education.

  • 3+ years of project management experience in onsite/field operations, data collection, or a technical/global services environment. Experience managing crowd-based or community operations preferred. Familiarity with robotics or data collection programs preferred.

  • Proficiency with Google Workspace and Microsoft Office; working knowledge of data dashboards preferred.

  • Agile/Scrum and/or PMP certification a strong plus.

  • Strong operational leadership in complex, fast-scaling environments.

  • Effective client communication and expectation management.

  • Balances execution with financial and timeline constraints.

  • Comfortable navigating ambiguity and providing structure day-to-day.

  • Strong critical thinking, analytical skills, and autonomy.

  • Recommends best practices, tools, and process improvements to enhance delivery.
